How to use onions in everyday life

Did you know that onions have amazing practical uses in unexpected situations? UAportal has prepared some functional life hacks.

Treating bites

Did you know that this plant can be used to soothe insect bites? A piece of onion can be rubbed on the affected area to relieve itching and reduce inflammation.

Similarly, if an accidental burn occurs during cooking, applying onion juice can help relieve pain and prevent blistering. In addition, a few slices of this plant can help deodorize the room, as the natural compounds are effective in absorbing odors.

Preventing rust from forming

To prevent rust from forming on metal tools, you can rub the surface of the cut onion before putting it in storage. This process creates a protective barrier against moisture and oxygen thanks to the sulfur compounds contained in this plant, which inhibit the oxidation process.

Soothing compress

An onion compress can reduce nasal congestion and relieve mild cold symptoms. By placing a cut onion head next to your bed or in your room, you will release natural compounds that will clear your nasal passages and deodorize the air. This can help clear the nasal passages and relieve the symptoms of a mild cold.
